OT Month Challenge – Day 22: OT in One Word

If I had to describe occupational therapy in one word, it would be… life-giving.

At its core, OT is about helping people engage in the things that give their lives meaning, purpose, and connection.

What’s one word you would use to describe OT?

OT Month Challenge – Day 20: Most Creative Adaptation

I’m not exactly a “build it from scratch” OT, but I do lean into digital tools and accessibility.

One of my favorite adaptations was modifying a Guess Who game at a state assistive technology conference to make it accessible for children who are non-speaking or Deaf.

Creativity in OT doesn’t always mean complex—it just means making participation possible.

What’s a creative adaptation you’ve used?

OT Month Challenge – Day 19: The Impact I Hope to Have

My long-term goals have shifted over time—and that’s okay.

As a student, I was passionate about serving children in low- and middle-income countries. Now, I feel especially drawn to supporting adult women with late-diagnosed ADHD, as well as advocating for inclusion and accessibility for people with disabilities in public spaces and church communities.

Our paths evolve as we grow.

What kind of impact do you hope to have in your OT career?

OT Month Challenge – Day 16: A Session That Didn’t Go As Planned

Honestly… every session at some point 😂

Flexibility is such a huge part of being an OT. We plan, prepare, and then adjust in real time based on what our clients need in the moment.

Sometimes the “unplanned” sessions end up being the most meaningful.

Tell me about a session that didn’t go as expected.

OT Month Challenge – Day 15: Area of OT I Wish More People Knew About

One area of OT I wish more people knew about is nature-based practice. The outdoors offers rich, meaningful opportunities for regulation, exploration, movement, and participation that can’t always be replicated indoors.

It can be such a powerful context for supporting development and connection.

What’s an area of OT you wish more people understood?
